Carrie blog response

The first book I'm reading is Carrie by Stephen King. The most important thing I've read so far has been the opening scene. Carrie, a 16 year old high school girl, gets her period for the first time while in the showers at school. This scene is very important because it sets the stage for who Carrie is and what her powers are. We see the girls taunt and make fun of Carrie as if she is an animal, and this shows how Carrie is an outcast at high school. It also shows the large amount of emotions she bottles inside, and as she lets them out we see odd things start to happen such as light bulbs breaking and objects moving. This foreshadows the telekinesis powers that Carrie might have and also what might cause her to finally break. Page # 21
